Cine5 was the first subscription-based television channel in
Turkey. It aired in an encrypted format and primarily broadcast
feature-length movies when it was founded on September 20, 1993.
Subscribers were required to buy a decoder to watch the channel. The
number of subscribers reached over half a million.
However,
in recent years, it enlarged its program spectrum due to competition
from other movie-based channels and removed encryption and the
subscription policy on January 16, 2006. On February 15, 2011, the
channel was put up for sale and bought by Al Jazeera to launch Al
Jazeera Türk.
